Good Morning from Rita and Me.

I'm not as peppy as Rita Hayworth here* -- yesterday was so disheartening on so many levels -- but the coffee is helping. While I struggle to get my day going with a smile, tell us about yours -- any big movie plans this weekend?

*Coffee cup via Alejandro Mogolla's shop. He's a great illustrator and also a reader of The Film Experience!

GAH! Alejandro's work always makes me happy!

When are you bringing back questions? I have a one for you about Ryan Murphy.

[Sean Casey]

You look so cute Nathaniel! I also really want that mug......

[Suzanne]

Oh my goodness, I NEED that "divine decadence" mug with the Liza illustration on that site.

[NATHANIEL R]

Chris -- me too.

/3rtful - soon. thanks for reminder

Sean -- thank u xo

Suzanne -- buy it! I am poor so i don't buy everything but i have 3 things from that shop (a t shirt plus two mugs)

Movie plans? One of my local arthouse cinemas is showing a series on Patricia Highsmith's adaptations, so I may go see Strangers on a train later, which I can't believe I haven't seen, as I love Hitchcock and have seen most of his stuff. If I can't make that showing I may catch Maggie's Plan , which looks like could be fun.

[NATHANIEL R]

Carlos -- DO IT. Strangers is pretty amazing.

[Paul Outlaw]

Nathaniel, that headline is provoking all my obsessive-compulsive, Grammar Na--- (no, I won't use that word today) tendencies to the max. Please do not encourage young people and non-native English speakers to engage in pronoun abuse! Save the objective case! Respect the accusative pronoun!

Are you joining the beard growing cult.

[NATHANIEL R]

mark -- no. i shaved everything hours after this photo was taken :)

[/3rtful]

You look masculine and distinguished with facial hair.

[mark]

I'm getting 1975 Richard Dreyfuss.

I will be one of the last 5 people on Earth to watch Frozen, and it's for a work brainstorming thing.

And I'll probably check out "Guys Need Wedding Dates" because it looks stoopId funny.

[Mike in Canada]

Paul Outlaw - but there's nothing wrong with the headline! "Me" is the right pronoun here.

[Pam]

N--you look happy in this photo. Cool mug, Alejandro!

But, ugh, what another shit week. This photo reminds me that I don't want anything current or deep; just something fun and playful, like old screwball Hollywood. Maybe dig out DVDs of The Awful Truth or It Happened One Night. I need Irene Dunne or Myrna Loy or Carole Lombard.

[NATHANIEL R]

Mike -i changed it post Paul's note. I was dumb and said "I"

Pam -- GENTLEMEN PREFER BLONDES our Tuesday movie ;)

[adri]

Nathaniel must have been channeling Marilyn Monroe's Lorelei Lee in preparation for Gentlemen Prefer Blondes. Lorelei is noted for saying "a girl like I".

[Carlos]

Nathaniel - I did got watch it. It's great! :D

(Although I did find Fairly Granger so bland haha)
